It’s to zot trolls.

Only the mods can ban someone.

“It’s to zot trolls.

Thank you... I was curious too. Why would anyone even want to do this? It just creates dysfunction, been there as a moderator and it was a huge unnecessary problem for the host platform.

So it is a roving gang of good old boys who stalk and search out folks to dog pile just because they do not think exactly like they do...

What could go wrong with that? I predict a whole lot of disruption and unneeded hostility and conflicts coming with this concept. Does anyone here ever consider their host before their own personal fetishes?

I have seen this before in other forums. And all it did was create animosity, division, and a whole lot of unnecessary work for admin and moderators required to clean up those threads.

Even watched this concept outright destroy one very popular forum. Owner had to shut it down because it was so dysfunctional and unproductive because of organized campaigns like this practicing sadistic fetishes with absolutely no rhyme or reason.

It ended up being just pure sadistic dog piling just to practice sadistic fetishes. It does more harm to the host platform than good. Been there many times.
